Hyundai Genesis (DH): Air Conditioning System / Photo Sensor Description and Operation
The photo sensor is located in the right side of the inside rearview mirror.
he integrated rain sensor is located in the right side of the
inside rearview mirror. The integrated rain sensor is a multifunctional
sensor which combines the photo sensor and auto light sensor, and has a
built-in photovoltaic diode (for detecting the amount of solar
radiation). The electromotive force, which is generated in proportion to
the detected radiation quantity, is transferred to the automatic
temperature control module to compensate air flow and discharge
temperature in the air conditioning system.
